Ganewmedes | Ganewmedes are notably stronger than in the previous entries of the series, and now have claws instead of tentacles to move around with. Ganewmedes also now have a unique way of attacking. Rather than trying to shoot Pit down, they will only counterattack if they are hit with a projectile from him. This makes them quite dangerous as the spiked weapons they launch can continuously block Pit's attacks whilst homing in on him. On certain occasions in battle, Ganewmedes may also intentionally crawl into Pit's line of fire to utilize their attack strategy against him. Because of this, melee attacks are the most effective way of dealing with these Underworld monsters. Ganewmede's spike projectiles suspiciously resemble [[Tros]]. | ||
====Idol Description==== | |||
''Ganewmedes are evolved Monoeyes whose tentacles have been replaced by spiky legs. They respond violently when fired upon, so approach them calmly and use melee attacks to take them out without getting hurt.'' | |||

*Ganymede was the most attractive of mortals and a Prince of Troy. Zeus kidnapped him from his homeland to serve as cup-bearer and paramour. In Astronomy, Ganymede is, fittingly, a moon of Jupiter. Interestingly, [[Tros]], another monster in the ''Kid Icarus'' series, was the name of Ganymede's father. | *[[wikipedia:Ganymede (mythology)|Ganymede]] was the most attractive of mortals and a Prince of Troy.

*It is interesting to note that despite the Ganewmede being a skeletal version of the Monoeye, the latter has no discernible mouth despite the former having a visible jaw bone. | *It is interesting to note that despite the Ganewmede being a skeletal version of the Monoeye, the latter has no discernible mouth despite the former having a visible jaw bone. | ||
